Last Day of Work

Today was technically Susanne's last day at work. She was sad that she would have to say goodbye to everyone again. By this point, her co-workers were more like family than friends. It made her sad to think that this chapter of her life was coming to an end.

When Susanne arrived at work, her appointment schedule was blocked off. She had no official appointments booked. She still hung around to see if she was needed. It was slow for a Saturday. This was definitely a sign of the season change. Since it was so dead, she was able to tie up a lot of loose ends before heading out. She would miss this place. It was nice to know that she would always be welcomed back with open arms.

As Susanne was finishing up a few things, she got a little concerned because she noticed that there were a few people at work that had been fighting off colds. One person even recently had the flu. The last thing that Susanne wanted to do was to bring any of this home to Paxton. She was under strict orders to avoid taking Paxton any place where there was a large group of people. He would be recovering for another six weeks and she didn't want to compromise his health in any way. From day one, the doctors had highly recommended that Susanne try very hard to prevent Paxton from getting sick. They all felt that if he even got the common cold, then he would more than likely have to be hospitalized. This wasn't an option. Paxton had already been in the hospital plenty in his lifetime thus far. He did not need to add to this by any means.

Susanne decided to run a few errands before heading home since she did not have Paxton with her. It was so much easier to run in and out of places when it was just her. Moppy was watching Paxton. She loved any excuse to get extra time with the bug.

When Susanne got home she thought it would be nice to take Paxton and James on a walk since it was so beautiful outside. She rarely got out of the house unless it was for one of Paxton's appointment so this was much needed. She invited Moppy to go along. They spent time walking around a couple of the lakes that were in the neighborhood. There was nothing quite as wonderful as getting some fresh air. It always put a smile on Susanne's face as well as James'.
